Question - I wanna give intel a try

I've been building AMD systems for the past many years for myself and for a while, I've considered building a intel system but the price shock for cpu's have always scared me off but I don't know would be an Intel upgrade from what I have now in AMD, that won't brake the bank.

I'm sure any one could build a better intel system then my current AMD system but what I want to figure out is if I could build a intel system that's better but ALSO cost around the same amount or some what close to anyways, here is my current system,

i would go for the 3770K and a Z77 motherboard. me personally i like the Asrock Z77 Extreme6 and the Z77 MSI GD65 Gaming board. Haswell is not that impressive and dont overclock well. They get very hot very quickly so i would skip the 4670K and 4770k. if you live near a MicroCenter you can get the 3770k with $40 off your motherboard of choice. just make sure you have good cooling as the 3770k can get a bit hot when overclock kinda high but not as bad like the 4770k.

Well I shop online for all my computer parts, is it possible to get a intel cpu thats as good if not noticeably better then my current AMD cpu and not spend more then $200 to $250 or am I stuck with a $300 plus price tag for a good Intel CPU?
